How much water does your dog REALLY need every day? 💧🐾

Did you know your dog’s water needs go up too? Just like us, staying hydrated is super important for their health. Here's the scoop on how much water your dog really needs each day and how to keep them hydrated! 🐕 1️⃣ How much water does your dog need? It depends on their weight. For example, a 6kg dog needs around 600ml of water daily – that’s like a bottle of water for a small pup! 2️⃣ Signs of dehydration: If your dog’s mouth feels dry, their poop is hard, or their pee is dark yellow, they’re probably not drinking enough. Also, if their skin takes too long to return to its normal position when you gently lift it, they might be dehydrated. 3️⃣ What kind of water is best? Stick to clean, cool water (avoid ice or super hot water). Don’t forget to refresh their water bowl regularly! 4️⃣ How to encourage water intake: Reward your dog when they drink, or sneak in a tasty treat at the bottom of the bowl to spark interest! #DogHydration #PetCareTips #HealthyPup

How Did I Keep My Dog Healthy for 18 Years? Here's the Secret!

If you're wondering how to raise a long-lived dog, here's what worked for me: 1.Vaccinate regularly – I kept up with yearly vaccines for the first few years, then switched to every two years after age five. Always check for enough antibodies and re-vaccinate if needed. 2.Balanced diet – Don’t just leave dry food out all the time. I mixed in fresh meat, veggies, and homemade meals. But avoid human foods like salty, spicy dishes and definitely no onions, grapes, or chocolate! 3.Immediate vet care when sick – If my dog wasn’t eating, I went to the vet right away. Don’t trust online remedies—timely medical attention is key! 4.Be patient and persistent – If your dog is sick, don’t give up! Dogs have a strong will to live, but they need your support to stay strong. My dog is 18 and still thriving! 💪🐾What’s your advice for keeping dogs healthy? #HealthyDog #PetCareTips #DogLongevity
